Catherine,
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You have always been special to me even back when we were both at Parisian. I've never lost any of my four siblings, but recently lost my oldest daughter, Katie. As God has been my refuge though her relocation to dance before Jesus, my prayer is that He will be your refuge, also. I love you!
Listening for His Trump,
Anne

David, Baliegh, Aunt Joann, Cousin Cathy and family,
We have been truly blessed to have Connie as part of our family. I have watched her grow from a small girl to a beautiful, caring, and loving woman. She dearly loved her husband, her daughter and her job. She was very special and dear to me. Ive always enjoyed the time we spent together. It is times like these when it is hard to find the words to express the love and the loss we all feel, but she has left us with beautiful memories we can all cherish. She will be greatly missed and was loved by all. I know in my heart that she is in heaven having a very large time and the angels are splitting their sides with laughter with her being there. We love you all very much and you will be in our prayers and thoughts. Love cousin Jan and family.

To The Evans Family,
Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of your beloved wife, mother, sister and friend. To say that her time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that she will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew her.I hope that you and your family will find peace and comfort in knowing that her just rewards await her.Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow." Heaven gained an angel !!
May God bless you and your family..now and in the days to come.

Dear David and Baileigh,
I can only imagine your sorrow at this time. Connie was a ray of sunshine to everyone she came in contact with. I can just hear her saying on Sunday mornings when she came into church "Hello Angel". Now she is hearing our Lord and Savior say that to her. She will be so greatly missed. We are so sad for you and will keep you both in our hearts and prayers. Connie will forever be a part of our lives. We love you both.

Catherine and Candy,
There simply aren't words to express how I feel. Connie was a joy to know, she always made me feel like a special friend and although I didn't see her often, I will miss her. I pray that in some way you will find Peace during the midst of this storm in your life. I pray that you will find Strength to carry you through the difficult days ahead.
Please know that I care and I am deeply saddened by Connie's Homegoing, as selfish as that might be.
In Christian Love,
Carol M Hardin
